So why does dip work so well in the Ninja Crispi? All the magic happens because this innovative device comes apart. Welcome to the PowerPod - Ninja's name for the handheld convection engine – it lifts on and off the cooking chamber with ease. Better yet, the container is crafted from sleek, tempered glass, which serves as a charming serving dish and fits snugly in that prized fridge real estate between your condiments. Plus, the Crispi cooking system comes with not one, but two containers (large and small!) – perfect for indulging in batch cooking or preparing separate dishes simultaneously. Now that's all-in-one convenience!
Don't question the sanity in making dip in an air fryer; there are stunning reasons to embrace this novel approach. It boasts minimal cleanup of one-pot cooking with the added advantage of cooking from the top down instead of the bottom up. The ingredients cook directly in the air fryer container, and when it's time to stir, simply lift off the PowerPod for an effortless stirrence. Just mix in your favorite spices and creamy ingredients - sour cream, yogurt, or mayonnaise - then top with cheese, put the PowerPod back in place, and watch it turn golden-brown and bubbly. No need for transferring to a new dish – serve it straight from the Ninja Crispi.
Speaking of heavenly concoctions, let me walk you through two of my go-to dip recipes that will blow your taste buds away.
Fiery Buffalo Chicken Dip
This dip is so quick and ridiculously easy, you'll have friends and family begging for more. Trust me, invest in a bottle of your preferred buffalo sauce since it plays a crucial role in elevating this dip!
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces butterflied chicken breast
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch MSG
- 1⁄2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 2 to 4 tablespoons buffalo hot sauce (I use Hot Ones buffalo hot sauce)
- 1⁄3 cup shredded cheddar, plus more for the top
- 1 to 3 sliced scallions, white ends and greens separated
- Slice the chicken breast thinly and arrange it on the grate of the Ninja Crispi. Sprinkle salt and MSG on top.
- Spark the "bake" mode and let that chicken sizzle for 10 minutes, warming it through without overcooking.
- Slide out the grate, leaving you with a bed of tender, shredded chicken in your Ninja Crispi container.
- Commence the party by mixing in Greek yogurt, cream cheese, two tablespoons of buffalo sauce, cheddar, and the white ends and light green portions of your scallions. Heat through once more in the "bake" mode for another 5 minutes.
- The cheese and yogurt will be delightfully soft. Mix everything together, taking a taste to ensure you're living on the edge with the right amount of heat. Flatten the dip, piling a tad more cheddar on top, and sear it for a final 3 to 5 minutes in the "bake" mode. Top with the vibrant green scallion slices and serve!
Classic French Onion Dip
I never thought I'd witness the sweet caramelization of onions in an air fryer – but the Ninja Crispi is that magic maker! Don't skimp on the MSG and Worcestershire sauce; they contribute the unforgettable umami hit we crave in French onion dip!
Ingredients:
- 2 medium onions (around 14 ounces), sliced
- 2 teaspoons neutral oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces full-fat sour cream
- 3 ounces plain Greek yogurt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Pinch MSG
- Spread the sliced onions into the small container of your Ninja Crispi (refrain from using the grate). Drizzle with oil, add salt, and scatter butter over the onions.
- Put on your baking gloves and experience the joy of 30 minutes of gentle stirring. (Pro tip: Stirring often ensures that the onions cook evenly.)
- As the onions reach peak caramelization, let them cool for about 15 minutes. Mix in sour cream, Greek yogurt, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and MSG.
- Serve this decadence at room temperature or refrigerate until chilled.
Meaty Seven-Layer Dip Extravaganza
This delicious, crowd-pleasing dip is perfect for parties. Don't be a shy guest – pack up the container with the NinjaCrispi lid and the PowerPod, broil the cheese on-the-go, and shine as the party-platter hero!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground turkey (or other ground meat)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or any another spice mix of choice)
- Sliced olives (I used jalapeño-stuffed green olives)
- 1⁄2 can refried beans
- 1⁄2 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons salsa
- Sliced green onions
- 1⁄2 cup shredded cheddar
- Sprinkle the baking soda over the ground turkey, mix it in with your gloved hands, and let it sit for a few minutes to enhance its browning and tenderization.
- Place the seasoned ground turkey in the Ninja Crispi container, without the grate, and let the sizzling commence! Cook for 25 to 30 minutes on the "bake" mode, stirring every 5 minutes or so.
- When the ground turkey achieves the nostril-searing aroma of perfection, stir in salt and your chosen seasoning mix. Cook until fully cooked through.
- Slice olives and intersperse them into the meatiness. Top with more olives for good measure. Layer on those deliciously creamy refried beans, then slather sour cream over that. Add a scant layer of salsa, then top with the green onions and shredded cheddar.
- For the grand finale, broil the cheese for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to create a gooey, mouthwatering layer of melted cheesy goodness. Serve the dip in the Ninja Crispi container with chips, crisp bread, or as a topping for burgers – you're only limited by your creativity. Enjoy the adoration!
- The Ninja Crispi air fryer is not just for crisping leftovers or roasting meats; it's a game-changer for creating food-drink such as dips, especially when making the scrumptious Fiery Buffalo Chicken Dip or the Classic French Onion Dip.
- Speaking of the Fiery Buffalo Chicken Dip, this air fryer recipe, made with ingredients like buffalo sauce and Greek yogurt, is so easy and quick that it will have friends and family begging for more.
